Who cares?
Coinwarz says it's around 605? or something?   Given the volatility of these things, it doesn't sound too bad?  A few days ago it went under 550.  or???

Woopie!  I just bought my first bitcoins! I spent $40 for 0.07 BTC!  I'm a big spender!

but my BTC won't show up for a whole week Sad

Did you buy it through coinbase?

What happens to DRK? from 0.0006 to 0.0004 in 1 day?
have I lost something?

Btc is crashing and some idiot miner just dumped his coin like festering cum geyser.

YUCK!  LOL

BTW, sorry I'm so far behind, glad everyone is talking nice now, LOL

Not as gross as the current price of BTC Smiley

I dont think its fair to say DONT DONATE to this guy or anyone. If someone want to donate let them. We have sent coin to others for compiling our code in the past.

And probabaly will need some help in the future, as yet I have not gotten my PC to correctly compile Windows app, I hate windows! Love Linux. Tongue

I disagree, I think it's perfectly fair when the post is misleading. Most people won't understand what has or hasn't been done in terms of work, and it's not fair for them to donate thinking that someone has created something that they haven't.

I honestly don't think he was being intentionally misleading, just semantics, and originally he said 'I'll post A compiled version...", clearly he just was typing his thoughts.  Communication is ALWAYS imprecise.  Lets not accuse people of being dishonest, but rather ask for clarity.  I'm sure there have been TONs of scams over the last few years here, and you may have been burned.  But this business here is very risky and takes a lot of trust and failures, but that doesn't mean we need to be uncivil.  Be wary, yes, but not uncivil Smiley

BTW, I sent a tiny donation to the fund, unfortunately, I can't give much  Embarrassed

I'll post up a compiled version of his sg miner for you, I've been working on this for two days now and managed to tweak it out to much higher hashing speed but the shares are all rejects (above target) - if anybody know's a fix for this we'll be able to get a few mhash out of our gpus in the short term at least.

Will edit with link

Dark SGminer (compiled) - Credit to eduffield for source **This is HIS original version, not the faster one I spoke of**
https://mega.co.nz/#!SpQigLDS!Ph-MZ7QrR55Gb4BDGEeHaCmWI1y3EDw-oYi22do-Umo

I will post a more tweaked out version as I go, but alas.. Not worth it until it actually starts pumping out shares :p, I'm rebuilding from scratch


Fixed

Serious, you know when we have the regular CPU miner running, it takes forever sometimes to have a share accepted, maybe if you  let it run long enough, it'll get some accepted?  Did you give it time?

It's one of the idiots here trying to create a panic sell. Looks like his plans didn't work too good.

Thanks. For the record, I will probably take the chance to buy some more DRK. I like this coin.

Is it a coincidence that the price has halved since the thread has basically become a primer about how to GPU mine DRK?

Both of those will work.  You would still need 650w+ psu, harddrive/ssd (windows) or memory stick (linux), cd-drive for windows install, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and wifi usb stick if you can't hard wire it.

You can remove the monitor, keyboard, and mouse after you set it up and run it headless.

Thanks cheif. I just want to know that a poor cpu and low memory wont make anything more than a negligable difference. I heard some gpu miners talking about a difference in hashes with 2 and 4 gig. I presume one card won't cause a problem with that?

Bootable linux would be my first choice, and I have plenty of the rest needed. Which only leaves the power supply.

Talking of bootable linux, does anyone know where to download a LIVE version of ubuntu 13.10? I dloaded 13.10x64 and stuck it on a cd using netbootin. It boots, but it's not a LIVE iso. People have made references to trying it out when I google it but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere apart from one single dirty looking torrent.

I've never used anything less than 3gigs to mine with and when I added more cards, I added more ram.  So your thread concurrency might need some adjusting with only 2gb ram, which would more than likely give you less kh/s.  But who know's might work great with only 2gb.

The cpu doesn't really matter as long as nothing else is running on the rig other than mining.

What is the best miner for now?

Raising the bar a bit:


Saw you mining on the pool.darkpool.io at 8-9MH/s, but the Efficiency went WAY down, as soon as you stopped mining it went up.

Think you have some issues!

It's still only on two small exchanges anyways, it's not like their is much volume needed to affect the price either way. I think people who are dumping DRK right now are the same ones who sold Doge and Vert in the first days of mining. Geniuses.

I think people are getting nervous about BTC/USD falling down, so they want to exchange everything to fiat for the time being. I pondered that for a while too.

Who cares?
Just to let everyone know we're up to 3000DRK for the GPU bounty to try and get phm to release his source code. It would be helpful if other people could donate also to even the playing field again :

XcVWt1B4EwxRgHXDnJyxGDwhEDDwfWvKpY

Thanks for your support!

ps, this bounty is extended to anyone who can get a GPU miner up and running with a reasonable amount of efficiency .

Here's my partially working GPU miner: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer



phm has claimed the bounty (I just don't want other people wasting their time when he has something that works). He says he's making a few modifications and he'll release in a couple days.

I'm perfectly fine with some other guy taking the money if his miner does a better job than my current 2 MH/s for single R9 290. Let the best code win.
Almost 10x performance, but power consumption is close to 10x, so this gives hope to CPU miners that they can still squeek out some coins

And its time to watch asshole GPU miners dump this coin to hell. Don't say you guys weren't warned.

I'm more concerned with CPU farm miners dumping when the gpu miner comes out.  If the gpu miners come piling in, diff shoots up, they dont get many coins.

Electricity costs for mining will set a price floor and at 10x GPU vs CPU is roughly the same based on electricity used, now if GPU got 100x performance, then CPU mining is dead. As it is, CPU mining will create the same amount of DRK per watt, so it will remain viable.

dang, I hope your right.

Whether you are or not, as long as the world turns........I'll carry on squeaking.
